RE-Invest to be Held Globally as Sun-World: ISA

International Solar Alliance (ISA) has announced that it is planning to unveil global editions of its flagship industry event RE-INVEST in reaction to the massive interest observed from the foreign entities.

As an initial step, ISA has signed an agreement with South American nation Peru to organize RE-INVEST in that country in November and the overseas title of the mega event will be known as Sun-World.

"The name of RE-Invest will change to Sun-World as it moves out of India," Upendra Tripathy, Director General of IS said. "We would want RE-Invest to be organised outside India as a best practice but we will not be able to continue with the same name if it moves out to any other country," he further.

Tripathy believed multiple foreign nations have expressed interest in organizing the large solar energy event in their own topographies and ISA has decided that the first Sun-World will be organized in Peru.

"We have signed an agreement with Peru and they have declared it as an event of national importance. The event is called ISA Peru LAC (Latin American Caribbean) Sunworld," he held.

The first edition of Sunworld will be organized in Peru between 12 -14 November this year and the second edition is planned to be organized in Nairobi in November, 2020. The third event in 2021 will either be organized in Indonesia or Australia.

He understood that as part of the ritual a Kenyan minister will visit Peru and take the torch to his country for the next event while the Indonesian or Australian minister will visit Kenya to take the torch to his home country.

Tripathy also said that industry body Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (ASSOCHAM) is planning to take a delegation of 30 industry leaders to Peru to partake in Sun-World this year.
